1578. Abū Bakrah narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ was met by some affair that made him happy, so he prostrated to Allāh.” (Hasan) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb, we do not know of it except from this route, as a narration of Bakkār bin ‘Abdul-‘Azīz. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge, they held the view that one could perform the prostration of gratitude. [And Bakkār bin ‘Abdul-‘Azīz bin Abī Bakrah is Muqārīb (average) in Hadīth.]
١٥٧٨ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَكَّارُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَاهُ أَمْرٌ فَسُرَّ بِهِ فَخَرَّ لِلهِ سَاجِدًا». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ. لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ بَكَّارِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ؛ رَأَوْا سَجْدَةَ الشُّكْرِ. وَبَكَّارُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ مُقَارِبُ الْحَدِيثِ.

On hearing good news, prostrating before Allāh as an acknowledgement of His mercy and blessings is proved from Ṣaḥīḥ narrations. Imām Shāfi‘ī and Ahmad both have the same view. Some of the scholars say that this is not proven by any authentic narration from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. But this is not the case.
